The combined portion of the earth where all living things exist. $400 What is a population? All of the members of a particular species that live in one area. $600 What is an ecosystem? A collection of all the organisms living in a particular place, with their nonliving/physical environment. $800 What are species, population, community, ecosystem, biome, biosphere? Names of the levels of organization from smallest to LARGEST. $1000 What is a community? The simplest grouping of MORE than one kind of organism in the biosphere. $200 What is consumer? Another name for a heterotroph. $400 What is a carnivore? Name for an organism that only eats meat. $600 What are omnivores? Animals that eat both producers and consumers. $800 What are decomposers? Organisms that obtain nutrients by breaking down dead and decaying plants and animals. $1000 What are carnivore & consumer? A lion stalks, kills, and then eats a zebra. What 2 ecological terms best describe the lion. $200 What is the sun? Main source of energy for life. $400 What is in ONE direction? How energy flows through an ecosystem. $600 What is in a cycle? How matter flows through an ecosystem. $800 What is a food chain? A series of steps in which organisms transfer energy by eating or being eaten $1000 What is a biomass pyramid? Type of pyramid showing the amount of living tissue at each trophic level in an ecosystem. $200 What is the water cycle? The repeated movement of water between the Earth’s surface and the atmosphere. $400 What is energy? The one NOT recycled in the biosphere: water carbon nitrogen energy $600 What is nitrogen fixation? Process by which bacteria convert nitrogen gas in the air into ammonia. $800 What is in the atmosphere, as fossil fuels, in the ocean? 3 examples of how carbon is stored in the biosphere $1000 What are bacteria on a legume(bean) plant? Nitrogen fixation is carried out by this with this type of plant. $200 What is the desert biome? A cactus lives here. $400 What is the marine biome? Coral reefs, whale, sharks, and tropical fish are plentiful here. $600 What is the forest biome? Coniferous and deciduous, huh? $800 What is the grasslands or savannah biome? Winds passing gently over long grasses and treeless plains. $1000 What are marine, freshwater, grassland, tundra, desert, and forest? The 6 biomes. $200 What are nutrients? Needed to carry out essential life functions. $400 What are the producers? Always the largest portion of a biomass pyramid. $600 What is ecology? Study of interactions among organisms and their surrounding physical environment. $800 What is photosyntesis? Process autotrophs use to create their own food. $1000 What is an algal bloom? Can happen after a lake receives a large input of a limiting nutrient.
